What language was used in the Zhou Dynasty?

Most of the existing characters of the Zhou Dynasty were found on tortoise shells, which was used to predict good or bad luck at that time-this is a unique custom of China people. They carved questions about diseases, dreams, hunting, weather, age and so on. On the tortoise shell, then make several incisions at different points of the tortoise shell, and press these incisions with a red-hot stick to make them crack. According to the shape, arrangement and direction of these cracks, fortune tellers judge the quality of the questions. These Oracle bones are carefully buried, so many of them can be preserved, which not only reveals the characters before the Zhou Dynasty, but also lets us know many scenes of the daily life of Zhou people. ?

There is also something called bronze inscriptions, which are written on bronzes and are also important words of that period.
